TIL Desk Bollywood/ Akshay Kumar, who is currently facing wrath from people for “accidentally” liking a controversial tweet amidst protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, was called “spineless” by a Twitter user, and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has similar views about the “Gold” actor.
“I have immense respect for Akshay Kumar. It must be extremely difficult to be trained in Martial Arts with a spine missing,” the user tweeted. Reacting to the tweet, Kashyap wrote: “Absolutely.” It all started after Akshay on Monday morning took to Twitter to clarify that he had earlier “accidentally” liked a tweet by Jamia Millia Islamia university students.
At a time when many Bollywood celebs are lashing out at authorities over tension at Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia, Akshay landed himself in a soup by liking a video that mocked the attack on Jamia. Kashyap even slammed the government, calling it “fascist”.
